Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the young Missouri woman who is serving 10 years in prison for second-degree murder in her mother’s death, said she felt “like a prisoner” before the fatal day. Blanchard, 26, opened up in an ABC “20/20” interview that aired Friday about the abuse she endured at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. “The prison that I was living in before, with my mom, it’s, like, I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t have friends. I couldn’t go outside, you know, and play with friends or anything,” she said. “Over here, I feel like I’m freer in prison, than with living with my mom. Because now, I’m allowed to … just live like a normal woman.”
